Health and safety information
• If you use the phone near the network's base
station, it uses less power; talk and standby
time are greatly affected by the signal strength
on the cellular network and the parameters set
by the network operator.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining
battery charge and the type of battery and
charger used. The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times, but it will
gradually wear out. When the operation time
(talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new
battery.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will
discharge itself over time.
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
recharge your battery only with Samsung-
approved chargers. When a charger is not in
use, disconnect it from the power source. Do
not leave the battery connected to a charger for
more than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its life.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging
capacity of your battery: it may require cooling
or warming first.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places,
such as in a car in summer or winter conditions,
as you will reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. Always try to keep the battery at
room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold
battery may temporarily not work, even when
the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are
particularly affected by temperatures below 0
°C (32 °F).

Health and safety information
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short- circuiting can occur when a metallic
object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct
connection between the + and – terminals of
the battery (metal strips on the battery), for
example when you carry a spare battery in a
pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the object causing
the short-circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose
of batteries in a fire.
Road safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability
to communicate by voice, almost anywhere,
anytime. But an important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, make sure that you are
following the special regulations in a given area or
country.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area and always switch your phone off
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
